Experimentations?

[Ngoface]

I'm still new at this :blushing:

Any constructive comments, suggestions, or "words of wisdom" would be greatly appreciated!

I'm just playing around with the B/W feature, and trying out different Aperture and Shutter settings.

If anyone has any tips for a novice photographer please feel free to enlighten :thumbup:!
~Whether it has to do with Aperture Value, DoF, Shutter setttines ANYTHING!

I'm not a fan of mono-chrome images so I'll just do a quick C&C on the color picture.

First of all, it's very underexposed. Looks like the shutter speed was way too fast for the amount of light you had to work with.

Composition wise, it looks like a snap shot and isn't very interesting.

Thanks a bunch Samanax, I'll be sure to thoroughly look through those links. The thing is, I never keep a steaday hand when shooting, so my pictures are blurry after I take shots that take awhile to shoot because of light absorption. I haven't learned how to adjust shutter speed or aperture to allow pictures to take in the right amount of light without the delay...

put a space between your images, and number them, it makes for easier CC

Sorry about that, Thanks Chris.

Keep taking pictures and experimenting.. Learn about composition and subject placement etc.. Subjects don't always look their best directly in the middle of the frame unless it's a great close-up.

I notice you seem to like to shoot in portrait position........ Personally, I see too many beginners who do that rather than step into the subject or zoom in to get the subject in the frame and end up with way too much foreground or too much sky.......two areas that don't bring much to the party and make their best appearance only as garnish..

if you are going to shoot in B&W, (or process that way) learn what filters bring out different colors so your subjects stand out from the rest of the shot clutter...


Post lots of photos, use feedback to help improve yourself, but develop some thick skin and only take about half of what you read to heart..

Aw man, thanks LarryD, I was kind of self-conscious about posting my novice pictures, if I could get constructive criticism from PROs like you guys above, I'll be good. I'll put aside the monochromes and read into composition!
